It&#8217;s clear that those who love the movie, really love the movie. One attendee even stated that the film is a weekly Wednesday night staple at the United States Antarctic Base Station, and that the film helped them get through some rough conditions. The writer\/actor\/director participated in a lively 20 minute Q&amp;A session before the show with an appreciative audience. He played catch with a footballer and even pulled a few audience members up from their seats so he could answer their questions up close.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For those interested, the live experience is most certainly a good time. If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to meet the mind behind <em>The Room<\/em>, this is a rare opportunity to do so. Tickets for Saturday night&#8217;s show (which Tommy Wiseau will also attend) are still on sale. Just click on the link and get them before they&#8217;re gone:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.landmarktheatres.com\/(S(y3wml13v24b2jic1mwldrxsi))\/Ticketing.aspx?TheatreID=220\">https:\/\/tickets.landmarktheatres.com\/(S(y3wml13v24b2jic1mwldrxsi))\/Ticketing.aspx?TheatreID=220<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And Tommy Wiseau still really wants me (and everyone else) to watch the Behind the Scenes documentary on <em>The Room<\/em> DVD and Blu-ray.
